I am having some trouble with this Anisomeridium collected from the shaded bark of a deciduous tree in an urban woodland, Aarhus, Denmark. It has numerous pycnidia with a rostrum and a white columnar mass of macroconidia (ellipsoid/ovoid 4-4.5 µm x 2.7-3.2 µm) and I have found what appears to be microconidia (bacilliform, ~2.5 µm x ~0.7-0.8 µm) both of which fit with my impression in the field: that this is A. polypori. The confusion arose when I found several pycnidia of a different type; more or less globular or with a very short rostrum and with a distinctly grey amorphous discharge consisting of grey +/- globular conidia (diameter: ~2.5-3.15 µm).
I suspect that I might be in the wrong genus, but I can't seem to find a better alternative. Where have I gone wrong?

First an overview of the thallus:

Section of a perithecium:

Spores (1 div. = 0.96 µm):

Close-up of pycnidia (the aberrant type marked in the second photo):

"beaked" pycnidium with columnar macroconidia:

macroconidia (1 div. = 0.96 µm)

"aberrant" pycnidium with grey mass of conidia:

Close-up of grey globular conidia (1 div. = 0.96 µm):

Close up of what I believe to be microconidia, but I am unsure if that is indeed what it is (1 div. = 0.96 µm):

Have you tested the pycnidia walls with K, they should be K + olive green far all Anisomeridium species, if the typical ones have K + olive-green walls and the odd ones are not then you would have Anisomeridium polypori with some pycidia of some other fungi associated. If all are K -, then I have no idea!

Thank you for your reply, Neil,
The wall of the perithecia and both the conical and "abberant" pycnidia react K+ green/olive. It seems, however, that the globular "conidia" develop secondarily on the concial pycnidia - and that they occur in "chains". I found a pycnidium with normal conidia on the inside, but with the grey mass on the outside. While I have no explanation for that phenomenon(a lichenicolous fungus, perhaps?), I am satisfied that the species in question is A. polypori.
